Right, OpenERP guys, any reason to keep ordering on the name by default in
the core of OpenERP?

All right, but then how do we implement that? Unless I'm missing some new
hidden v6 hack, there is no way to declaratively specify an order at the
menu or action_window or view level, right?

So what do we do? Put some context key in the existing order list
action_window and then override the search method of the sale order object
in the base_sale_multichannels module to inject the "date" as the order
param in the super search method call when we find that trigger key in the
context?

Anything better, any reason not to do so? Thank you in advance.
